Double Bass Walter Woods contact info...

[MrSidecar]

Dear all,

the circulating phone-number 1-760-772-7952 is apparently no longer associated with Walter. I tried calling and talked to a man who made it very clear that I must have gotten the wrong number.

A white pages reverse search yields the same results- the number is associated to a business address in Brooklyn, New York (?). So, if anyone has newer contact info on Walter Woods, maybe post it here..

Any chance you could PM his Cell to me as well Ric? It would help me out greatly, my 1997 Walter Woods mono Super Hi Power was fried on a gig a couple weeks back. Thanks, Marc

That's the same number I have and I spoke with Walter and ordered my new amp that arrived yesterday.

Maybe you misdialed.

I'm unable to reach Walter at that number for over three weeks now. I am sending him a letter in the meantime. Has anyone else had recent contact with him?

Legend is he is "on again off again" revealing himself to the public.

He is really doing a disservice to his loyal customers and his own lgacy by not letting his schematics out to at least a few trusted techs. If he were to pass on tomorrow many of them would be hosed.

FWIW, I just bought a Walter Woods amp knowing full well that there may come a time where it might not be serviced. It’s a killer amp. But there are others.

The number in the OP hasn’t been current for 5 or 6 years. That was his land line in Indian Wells. He has since gotten a mobile phone and moved up north.

I hear your pain, but I was wondering if you actually owned one of Walter’s amplifiers? Just curious. Walter’s been nothing if not pleasant and responsive to me personally.

Not me but several friends. Two of them finally gave up and sold them after taking almost a year to get the guy to reply to them and get their amp fixed. One of them just loves his so much that he "Doesn't care that the guy is a jerk".

(His words, not mine.)

That being said, the guy is something like 147 years old, or something? He should either bring a legacy builder on board... someone who would take over when he passes, sell the design, or at least release the dang schematics... even if only to a few techs he trusts.

Just my view.

Has anyone been in touch with Walter since 2016, or know how to reach him now in 2021?

My take is that you should send him a letter via USPS.

As I posted above in 2018, I had phone contact with him when he called me after I mailed him a letter. That was the second time I had contacted him about a repair (the first was about 15 years ago) and he responded to the letter promptly.
